If a sudden lower back pain arises in your body, it may be due to a kidney infection. While not all back pain is kidney pain, lower back pain is sometimes due to internal organs, specifically due to kidney problems such as kidney stones, infections or other kidney diseases.
This precision can be called flank pain – pain that develops between the last rib and the buttock. Side pain usually occurs on one side and is usually sharp and severe that comes in waves. This pain can even spread to the hips and groin area.

Herbal remedies for kidney pain
If it is kidney pain, it may also show symptoms such as painful urination, fever, chills, as well as blood in the urine that your eyes sometimes cannot see. If you have even a little doubt that your back pain may be a kidney pain, you should visit your doctor as it may indicate a serious underlying health problem that requires immediate medical attention. These home remedies for kidney pain are intended to be used as additional therapy and under the supervision of your doctor.
1. Drink lots of water to relieve kidney pain
Staying well hydrated not only prevents kidney stones, but can also flush out those already present in the ureter, the thin tube that connects the kidney to the urinary bladder. The water will dilute the urine, preventing minerals and salts from clumping together and forming kidney stones. Water also removes toxins from the body. More importantly, however, consuming a large amount of water can immediately decrease kidney pain every time it occurs.
Do this:
As soon as you realize that you are about to have severe back pain, start drinking clean, filtered water . You may need to drink 1 to 1- ½ liters of water. When you start to have this kidney pain, you cannot know before it happens, but when you have already had a couple of incidents of this intense and acute pain, you will learn to recognize the previous symptoms of such kidney pain. Water therapy is specifically helpful in kidney pain due to stones, and in some pain events due to kidney infection as well.
Tip: Although water can scare away kidney stones, this may not always be the case. You should consult your doctor about your kidney problem.
